FLORIAMA CÂNDEA

Floriama Cândea graduated from the National University of Arts’ painting department and from CESI’s program for Image Theory and Practice. She is the co-founder of the Qolony association, a cultural NGO that functions as an aggregator of a mixed community of professionals from different disciplines, from contemporary artists to scientific researchers and specialists in various technologies, all united by a passion for interdisciplinary practices and the creativity they produce. Her working tools include several methods and techniques. In general, both her concepts and working processes use the aesthetics of scientific images and scientific research tools that can be converted into artistic practices – decellularization, production of biocompatible materials, chemical processes. Her works question the way in which memory, cognition, perception and taxonomy are triggered as mechanisms in the subjective relationship between humankind and the natural world, between reality and fiction.
